Holiday World & Splashin' Safari

Santa Claus, Indiana
www.holidayworld.com

Don't miss your chance to visit the world's first theme park. In 1946, this attraction debuted as Santa Claus Land, a place that celebrated the town's jolly namesake. Over the years, the name changed, but the holiday thrills live on. From Reindeer Games to Blitzen's Airplanes, the rides will delight kids well past December.

In the summer, 'tis the season for water slides and lazy rivers. If fall is your favorite time of year, visit the Halloween area for HallowSwings and the Thanksgiving section for the Gobbler Getaway. Check the website to find out when Holiday World is open for business.
